The National Biodiesel Board has set a goal of six billion gallons of biomass-based diesel within a decade, versus current output of 2.5 to 3 billion gallons. Industry officials say reaching it depends on existing and new feedstocks plus consistent federal tax credit and mandate support.
Long-run growth targets for biodiesel would support future soybean oil and other feedstock demand, but the outcome depends on policy continuity and is not an immediate price driver.
After 842 past bullish policy events, Soybean Oil moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.6% to +2.1%), and -0.5% over 20.
